An article that caught my interest was an article on Kepler 438b; a planet that could possibly support life. This prospect intrigues me as I think that it would be a unbelievable thing to discover new life. The article also talks about other planets that could possibly support life. Kepler 438b is in the spotlight because it is the most likely candidate to be able to harbor some type of life. One reason why this article interests me is because of the idea that we someday might need to leave earth because of how we use it. I think the relevance of finding new life supporting planets is very high. It is in our best interest to do so
